LOLO JONES: ‘The Onion’ Satirizes Bobsledder

Satire website The Onion is poking fun at Olympian Lolo Jones.

The hurdler and bobsledder is used to facing controversy over the media coverage she receives, which some say is more focused on her appearance than her talent.

The article says Jones, “has become the first American to be objectified in both the Winter and Summer Olympics.”

A fake quote in the article says, ”At the end of the day I’m still being asked to pose in skintight suits for photoshoots and visit talk shows under the false pretense of discussing my athletic accomplishments.”

Hate her or not… she is a great role model to young girls out there considering most of the “fame mongrels” that seem to nab most of the publicity time. I’ll take her over miley or the kardashians any day of the week!
